Rooted in the 42 year history of serving New Jersey residents living with epilepsy, developmental disabilities and chronic illness, the Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey introduced The Family Resource Network in September 2004. The Family Resource Network is a comprehensive family-focused human service organization designed to meet the growing need for community based programs and services to this

rising population. The Family Resource Network is a state-wide organization with headquarters in East Windsor, NJ. The Family Resource Network affiliated organizations:
Autism Family Services of New Jersey
Caregivers of New Jersey
Epilepsy Services of New Jersey

Autism Family Services of New Jersey was created in order to better serve individuals and families affected by autism. With after school services such as arts and crafts, physical education, music therapy, respite opportunities and recreational programs, Autism Family Services of New Jersey strives to ensure a better quality of life for people with autism and their families. Caregivers of New Jersey’s efforts lie in updating caregivers on their rights and current legislation as well as educating the public on caregiving issues. The growing number of caregivers in the state has increased the demand for advocacy, education and information. Caregivers of New Jersey is proud to offer a centralized location for answers and information on all caregiving concerns. Epilepsy Services of New Jersey, an affiliate of the Epilepsy Alliance of America, provides necessary programs for families living with epilepsy, such as a residential summer camp, support groups, scholarships, and referral programs.

Some of the biggest milestones start with something simple, feeling connected.

Support Coordination is about more than services and paperwork.

At Caregivers of New Jersey, we work alongside individuals and families to help navigate New Jersey’s Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) services while focusing on what truly matters most to each person.

Every individual deserves support that sees them as a person first.
